An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-1357 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1357/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1357/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1357","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1357/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1357","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5p87-h429-g84q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Netscape Communicator","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute cross-site scripting attacks against Netscape Communicator users via unfiltered CGI programs due to improper character conversion.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"communicator","vendor":"netscape"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Netscape Communicator 4.04 through 4.7 (and possibly other versions) in various UNIX operating systems converts the 0x8b character to a \"\u003c\" sign, and the 0x9b character to a \"\u003e\" sign, which could allow remote attackers to attack other clients via cross-site scripting (CSS) in CGI programs that do not filter these characters.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1357","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1358"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1356"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Buffer overflow in the sun.awt.windows.WDefaultFontCharset Java class implementation in Netscape 4.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbi","id":"CVE-2002-2248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0596","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0440","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-10-13"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-2284","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute cross-site scripting attacks against Netscape Communicator users via unfiltered CGI programs due to improper character conversion.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1357/"}
